I'm so excited that I feel inspired to write right now. So what caused the change? One of my professors. (Side note also being that I'm happy to be back in school and not just working at OfficeMax). So my professor. The story begins with a class I took from him last semester. I enjoyed the class and the prof. Except for one thing. My group gave our presentation last semester and yes we were unprepared. Well, the prof humiliated us in front of 60 of our peers and made a fool of us. It was a very detrimental experience needless to say. Before this happened, I was planning on taking his other class in the spring. Well, after the presentation I wanted to verbally assault the prof. Don't worry Mom, I didn't do anything of the sort. I tried to take the experience for what it was and nothing more then it should have been. So tonight was the first night of our class. And let me tell you how good I feel about it. I feel like this class along with one I took last semester are the best classes to take for my degree and life. This class I'm in now is called Negotiation and Conflict Management. This class will teach me how to negotiate for my life personally and professionally. My prof, yes I still think he gets off by being a jerk, but I think he's brilliant in his form of teaching. I'm excited for the challenge of this course and I'm excited that when I graduate I will have a ready made skill set just waiting to be used. So not only has this arrogant professor got me stoked about his class but he just taught me a very valuable lesson tonight. Things are how they are. You will make an ass out of yourself and get told you are an ass. I can relate this to TONS of situations in my life RIGHT NOW. That guy that never called, yep I'm pretty sure I made an ass out of myself and that's why he hasn't called. You say the wrong things to your friends and yes it will come to bite you in the ass more than once in a day. I guess just how my prof spoke about the class made me think of a lot of people in my life and how shallow we all are, especially me. Any ways. That's what I've got for now.
